Low fuel emergency in DFW
Depending on where the 747 was, it could take a minute or more to get it off
the runway. There's a lot of mass involved. Plus, you may have taxiways that are clogged with other traffic. 747s don't make good off road vehicles. Mike Schumann "Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... Steven P. McNicoll writes: Was there a fully laden 747 on the runway that couldn't be moved in time? There's _never_ a fully-laden 747 that can't be moved in time, unless it is chained to ring bolts in the concrete of the runway. A 747 can be out of the way in seconds. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
